When a vessel is scheduled to ASTICAN Shipyard in Las Palmas for repairs, the technical repair work is only one part of the project. Shipowners, ship management companies, vessel operators, masters and technical superintendents also need reliable local coordination for the many operational requirements that arise before and during a ship repair period.
Our Astican Ship Repair Support in Las Palmas is designed for companies and individuals looking for a local ship agent to support their vessel while it is undergoing repair, maintenance, conversion, inspection or related shipyard work.
ASTICAN is a ship repair yard in Las Palmas with published capabilities covering dry docking, lifting operations, mechanical works, steel works, thruster works, UWILD and inspections. Its broader service portfolio also includes electrical and electronics, engines, piping, propulsion, tailshaft, hull treatment, tank treatment and other repair-related activities.
If you are a shipowner, ship manager, vessel operator, master, technical superintendent, fleet manager or repair project manager, you may need a local agency partner to handle the shore-side requirements of your ASTICAN repair call.
We can coordinate services such as:
The exact scope can be arranged according to the vessel's repair schedule and the instructions of the owner or management company.
A repair project can involve numerous parties at the same time. The vessel may have a superintendent onboard, shipyard personnel working on repairs, class surveyors attending inspections, OEM engineers travelling from another country and spare parts arriving through Las Palmas.
Our role is to coordinate the local logistics surrounding the repair project.
We can communicate with the vessel, ship management company, superintendent, repair contractors, suppliers and local service providers according to the instructions received.
This gives the shipowner or manager a single local point of contact for the agency requirements connected with the repair period.
Additional spare parts are often required after equipment is inspected, dismantled or tested.
We can coordinate ship spare parts delivery to ASTICAN in Las Palmas, including courier shipments, air freight, local transportation and customs-related procedures.
Urgent components can be monitored from arrival in Las Palmas through to delivery to the vessel or the designated shipyard location.
ASTICAN also publishes information about a 6,000 m² storage area, with more than 65% designated as bonded storage, which can be relevant to the handling of equipment and materials connected with repair projects.
Ship repair projects frequently require technicians and specialists to travel to the vessel.
We can assist with the local logistics for:
Airport reception, hotel accommodation, transportation and local movements can be arranged according to the vessel's repair schedule.
Repair periods can also create an opportunity for planned or urgent crew changes.
Our agency can coordinate crew sign-on and sign-off, airport transfers, immigration formalities, accommodation, local transportation and repatriation.
If a crew member needs to leave the vessel unexpectedly during the repair period, we can also coordinate the relevant shore-side arrangements.
Repair projects may require equipment, machinery components, tools and spare parts to arrive from different countries.
Our local agency can coordinate the logistics between courier companies, freight forwarders, customs representatives, warehouses, transport providers and the vessel.
Early notification of incoming shipments allows us to prepare the necessary local arrangements around the vessel's repair schedule.
Not every repair requirement can be identified before the vessel arrives.
A component may fail during testing, an additional spare part may be required, a service engineer may need to travel urgently or a technical team may need immediate transportation.
For these situations, local agency coordination can be particularly important.
We can assist with urgent spare parts logistics, transportation, accommodation, technician movements, customs-related arrangements and other shore-side requirements connected with the vessel's stay in Las Palmas.
ASTICAN's facilities include a Syncrolift system for vessels up to 36,000 DWT and seven dry-docking lanes. The shipyard states that it handles around 180 vessels annually and offers repair-related capabilities across several technical disciplines.
Our agency support can continue throughout the repair period, whether the vessel is attending ASTICAN for dry docking, maintenance, conversion, inspection or specific repair work.
The objective is to make the local arrangements surrounding the repair project easier for the shipowner and management team.
Our services are intended for anyone responsible for arranging the local requirements of a vessel calling ASTICAN, including:
Shipowners planning a repair call in Las Palmas.
Ship management companies coordinating the vessel's shipyard period.
Masters requiring local assistance during the vessel's stay.
Technical superintendents managing repair work and contractor attendance.
Fleet managers arranging shipyard logistics.
Vessel operators requiring local port and shipyard support.
Repair project managers coordinating personnel, materials and technical attendance.
